Hello!
I am a freshman at Miami and I am considering transferring to Ohio State though I have some concerns:
I really don’t like the atmosphere of Miami. The kids here are all very alike and I love having a variety of different people perspectives around. I have found some of my best friends here at Miami (which is killing me to think about leaving), but I don’t like to go out and drink all the time and that seems to be all there is to do here…plus I’m not sure you can stay in a place that you really don’t like only for a few select people…I really do wish I loved it here
I am considering Osu, but I am afraid of how big it is and if I will get lost as a transfer student. I have marketed myself well here at Miami and joined a lot of clubs and made a TON of friends and have even been offered an internship.
I obviously don’t want to lose this all, but the atmosphere and likemindedness is REALLY dragging me down. I am also afraid because I am still technically undecided and If I do transfer I would like to go in with a solid plan. I feel super super lost here but I don’t want to feel more lost at Osu.
I will work hard wherever I go, but I want to be in an environment where I can thrive. I’m not sure if that is easier at Miami because of its smaller size so it seems like opportunities are more accessible and tailored, or if Osu would feel the same way.
Should I look elsewhere? small-liberal arts or something?? I’m good with people and make friends easily, I’m just not sure I want to be surrounded by the people that are at my current school.
